The Lake

Well, the fam is going to the lake this weekend and seeing as how the lake is in the middle of nowhere & we can't even use our cellphones, much less our computer, there will be no blogs for the next couple of days. The lake is an interesting place for those of you that have never had the pleasure of visiting Lake Kemp, Texas. It is a nice size lake & we do have a boat...but it is a one of a kind place. It is very "down home" shall we say? It is life at a slower pace...a more simple lifestyle, that I rather enjoy but there are some very interesteing things that go on there. For instance, my father-in-law & other members of his family have built themselves homemade vehicles that they lovingly refer to as"buggys." These are old pickup trucks with the body removed & welded pieces of metal holding the engines & seats in place....I'll try to post a picture when I get back...it is just something you must see to believe. They also like to drink a few & just cruise around for hours just chatting & going nowhere...& you can get away w/this because it is private property & no one bothers you. They like to get out & harrass the black bulls that roam around(the lake is on Waggoner Ranch & the bulls stay @ the lake), they like to dance on the hoods of their buggies & they like to go around & spy on people & see what everyone else is up to. They are all a little nuts...nut a FUN nuts! It is a different lifestyle but one that they love just the same. We love to go visit & relax & play cards (for money, of course:) & get away from the city. I'll try to take some pics & post them...hope that everyone has a good weekend & a GREAT Father's Day!!! Hope your having a good time on your cruise mom & dad!!!
